SECRETARY GILBERT.
What He has to Say About Maine Crops

Journal man caught glimpse of Hon.
L. \. Gilbert, Secretary of the Maine Board
Of Agriculture, as he was hurrying through
the streets of Augusta to the train last Satur-
day afternoon. On accosting him he quickly
pulled out his watch and wanted to know how
many minutes before the down train left. ON
assuring him he had ample time he slackened
speed little and in answer to the inquiry
where have you been and where are you
going, he replied, Il have been holding
Farmers Institute Meetings in Pscataquis
and Pcnohscot counties during the week. one
at Parkman on Tuesday. at East Dover ON
Wednesday, at Coriuna on Thursday, and at
st. Adams on Friday. Next week Tuesday,
shall hold meeting at Fryehnrg, and the
week following on Tuesday, Nov. Sth. at
Stockton, and on Wednesday, the 9th. at
Morrill, then on the 10th, 1 shall he at Column

members of the State Society, and Prof. &.
H. Whtchcr of the New Hampshire State
Agricultural College The meetings were
large and enthusiastic and farmers are full
Of hope and courage
To an inquiry in regard to the crops
throughout the State Mr.. Gilbert replied. the
potato crop is fair in some sections and
nearly a failure in others Aroostook county
has one half its usual crop, while in the
western part of the State the crop is very
poor indeed Coriuna for instance. has a
very good crop, one man had put 500 bushels
of good ones into his cellar, while in the
adjoining town of St Adams the crop is
almost total failure. The grain crop is
fair. while the crop of understandable apples
will be about onc-fourth that of last year,
but the corn crop is good. better than
the average. There is a full crop and much
larger area than formerly both of sweet corn
and the yellow variety. You may add that
there are no long faces among the farmers
said the busy Secretary as he hurried off to
the train,

OBITUARY.

Mr.. Herbert F. Watt only son of d. NJ
Watt Esq; of this city, died in Boston on
Thursday, last of typhoid fever of a malign-
ant type, at the age of 30 years and seven
months. He was in the city some five or
six weeks since, enjoying vacation season,
in the freshness and buoyancy of robust health,
but on his return to Boston was stricken with
disease and died after a brief sickness. The
funeral was attended at the house of his
father Sunday afternoon, Rev Mr.. Skeele
officiating. The contribution of flowers, in
beautiful designs from Aliens and Nickery's
establishments, the gift of loving friends,
was exceedingly fine, while the attendance of
Herberts former associates, to drop the tear
of sympathy attestcd to the fond affection in
which he was held.
Young Watt had for several years been
employed by the large grocery establishment
of Andrew j. Lowell, Cambridge street, Bos-
ton had nice opening and was held in the
highest esteem by his employers Married
three years since to Miss IIamlen of Water
Vile, their brief journey hand in hand was a
happy one, and the parting is all the more
sorrowfu because of the bright prospects
that seemed to be just before them. But the
keenncss of the anguish of wife parents and
friends is assuagcd by the knowledge of the
character of the deceased. From early youth
he had a high sense of honor and the traits
of true manhood began to develop at n
period that saved him from the excuses and
pitfalls that wreck so many lives. In this
community where the sunny hours of youth
and the hopeful ones of opening manhood
were spent, we think of him. as we have
watched his career, rs model young man,
true 10 all the instincts of noble nature and
although the sundering of earthly ties comes
at almost the beginning of active life, his
work may be completed and fully rounded
out in those to whom his memory is now a
cherished and sacred thing.

BEAR STORIES.
From Various Sources and of Various
Lengths

Hancock Lake people were thrown into
state Of wild alarm one night this week by
bear Mrs. j. Fl. West went To the spring
few rods from her house after a pail of water
and Just as she got To the spring there was
bruIn not ten feet from where she stood
with his nose on the ground hunting for mice.
Mrs West ran to the house and told her
husband, and he armed himself with a club
and started for the bear. As he went he
gave the alarm which reused most of the
neighbors and they started in hot pursuit with
dogs and shot guns TO bag the big fellow,
but they did not succeed in their undertaking.
for he gave them the slip and ran away up
Trim Observation-Disclosures Commercial.
Mr.. John r. Sullivan and two other young
men OF Whitneyville went up TO Fletcher
Brook last week on a hunting cruise and
Thiie they went separately in different direc-
tons, Sullivan came up TO four bears, two
ola and two young ones. The young ones
ran up tree while one of the old ones stood up
and showed fight. Sullivan, having repeat
ing rife, fired and hit him. The bear was
about thirty yards of, and made at Sullivan
upon the jump. But Sullivan kept firing at
bruin I'LL he was close up, and the fourth ball
dropped him at the muzzel of the rife. The
bear was large customer, and had lost part
Of a paw sometime ago. The other bears let
Sullivan alone, aud as he had had fearful
time with old bruin he did not care to follow
them. The one killed was an old veteran,
being seven feet long from his nose TO the
root of his tail. He had had some battles
before, as charge of buckshot was found
under the skin of the head. ---Mechias Re

Harvey and William johnson had been
visiting a bear gun at East Sullivan, Sunday
morning. and as they neared ii there was
discharge--a bear was the weapons target.
On hearing the report they rushed towards the
bear, which animal was not 50 badly hurt as
they thought, and before it was killed it liter
ally bit and tore Harvey almost to pieces.

SWEDISH COLONIZATION.
The Experiment Has Succeeded in
Maine, Why Not in Vermont.

The following letter from a prominent gem
ueman IN Vermont was received by Gov.
Bodwell a few days since:
II would be glad TO learn something
OF the success of the Swedish colony
I'D the Aroostook country in your State.
only know OF 1t in very general way: that
II was started years ago. and that there Is a
township there called New Sweden. Ocea-
slonally man has left nv employ here to
settle there, but only a very few, not more
than half dozen, think in the last dozen
years Has the colony been increasing by
immigration from Sweden directs Do the
emIgrants make good citizens, and are thev
satisfied with their location. The population
rs diminishing in our rural districts. and the
question Of encouraging immigration from
abroad to take up farms that are abandoned
and offered for sale at very low prices, is be-
ing discussed by the papers. / have some
thing over 200 Swedes in my employ here.
and, as employees, / like them very much
indeed Some of them have bought places.
but as rule when they get $1,000 to $1,000
ahead they go west and occasionally return to
sweden. would be glad to learn if there
Il anything in the experiment in your State
TO encourage an effort to direct that class OF
emigration here, with a view of settling up
on farm lands"
The facts connected with the pfogress and
present condition of this interesting colony
have been furnished the writer of the above
letter. These facts show that the expert
ment of colonizing the northern wilds Of
Maine from the hardy northern races of Eu-
rome whiIe r,ot a.topi.b;n,, l., ra.,t,. :. go,
couraging and reasonably satisfactory.
From beginning of fifty immigrants planted
in the unbroken wilderness in 1870, a thriy-
ing community of nearly 1000 inhabitants
now occupies nearly all the settling lands in
the township, and in a portion of adjacent
towns. They have good farms, many of
them comfortable dwellings, large stocks of
cattle, and all the comfortable surroundings
of Older towns good schools, two churches,
stores, mills, etc. They are an industrious
honest and intelligent people, excellent citi-
zens in every respect, and held in high es-
TEEN by the business men of the neighborng
towns, with whom they have dealings They
are less affected by the prevailing disposition
to go west" than our native citizens, and, as
whole, are a contented and happy people.
Such are some Of the facts connected with
this experiment" encouraged by the State.
Subjected to much unfayorable criticism in
the past, but now universally admitted by
those best acquainted with the results to be a
paying investment.

An Augusta Trotter.

Silver Knox, the wcl-known Augusta trot-
ter, has made an excellent record this season
At the Readficld fair he won the race in the
= 10 class. At Pennington he won easily in
the 24j class making a record of >. 40. The
day before this race he trotted half mile in
practice in La -. Although he had been
driven from the city to Pennington. Con
sdering this long journey his showing there
was in all respects most crcditablc. From
Pennington he was driven to Topsham to take
part in the Sagahahoc races at that place.
Here he injured his head in the stall so badly
that he was unable to carry the bit, otherwise
he would doubtless have won similar laurals
to those gained at Readfield and Pennington.
Considering the small amount of training this
horse has had his record this season has been
a remarkable one, and has given him place
in the front ranks of Maine trotters.

afternoon. The barn is situated on the oppo-
site side of the road and escaped the flames.
All of the fall crop outside of what was
in the barn was stored in the cellar and was a
total loss. Very little was saved from the
house. 1t is not known how the fire
originated. When the flames boke out Capt.
Perry was husking corn in the barn. The

In conversation with an Augusta gentle
man after the race Friday, Mr.. St. John,
Gaudaur's hacker, said that the reports of the
heavy betting which had gone out were all
bluff. He himself had put several thousand
dollars into the hands of the Herald man to
put up on Gaudaur if he could get odds, but
being unable to do this the scribe
had refunded the ducats and he
had lost only $50. The only man he knew
OF who had won anything was Keenan, and he
carried home only about $780, The talk
about thousands being won and lost on this
face was all bosh. Mr. St. John has appar-
emily got down to a lower basis on his losses
'han when he talked in the hotel at Winthrop
immediately after the race.
